Lebanese Forces (Militia) (original) (raw)

The Lebanese Forces (Arabic: القوات اللبنانية, romanized: al-Quwwat al-Lubnāniyya; French: Forces Libanaises) was one of the main Christian factions of the Lebanese Civil War. Originally an umbrella organization for different Christian parties, the Lebanese Forces later became a separate organization. It was mainly staffed by Maronite Christians.
